The app will greet you with an option to login to an existing user or create a new user. If running app for the first time, it will detect that no users are present in the database and will prompt you to create a new user.
Once you've registed as a user, login using the username and password to continue. The passwords are stored securely using an hash. (Others can still access your data as the sqlite3 database doesn't require credentials to be connected to)
After you're logged in, you will see the PyExpense shell which lets you use the available commands.
